Quick answer: Most UK beginner workshops focus on glass fusing (£45–£90) — arranging coloured glass pieces that a kiln fuses together. Your finished piece comes back 1–2 weeks later. Traditional stained glass cutting courses start from £60. ClassBento has the widest selection.

Choose a technique

Three types of glass workshop

Glass fusing £45–£90

Arrange cut or pre-cut coloured glass pieces on a kiln shelf, then fire at ~800°C to fuse them. Results range from flat panels and coasters to slumped bowls and jewellery. No lead involved. Best for beginners.

Glass painting £35–£65

Paint onto flat glass (or pre-made glass shapes) using specialist glass paints, then fire to set. Produces decorative panels and gifts. Most accessible — can be done at home with no kiln if using cold-cure paints.

Traditional stained glass £60–£120+

Cut coloured glass to shape and join pieces with H-shaped lead came strips, then solder the joints. The technique used in church windows. More complex — usually taught in multi-session courses rather than single tasters.

FAQs

Everything you need to know before you book.

What is the difference between stained glass and glass fusing?

Traditional stained glass uses lead came (H-shaped lead strips) to join pieces of coloured glass cut to shape — the technique used in church windows. Glass fusing uses a kiln to melt pieces of glass together at around 800°C, creating fused panels, bowls, and jewellery. Most UK beginner workshops focus on glass fusing (no lead involved, more accessible) or glass painting (painting on flat glass).

How much does a stained glass or glass fusing workshop cost?

A glass fusing beginner workshop costs £45–£90 for a 2–3 hour session. You typically make a fused glass panel, coaster, or piece of jewellery that returns from the kiln 1–2 weeks later. Traditional stained glass cutting courses start from around £60 for a half day. ClassBento and CraftCourses both list glass workshops across the UK. Find a stained glass workshop →

Is stained glass difficult to learn?

Glass cutting requires patience and a steady hand — the technique takes practice before you can cut curves cleanly. Glass fusing is more accessible for beginners because the kiln does the joining work; your job is designing and arranging the pieces. Most beginner workshops start with glass fusing rather than traditional lead came work. Find a stained glass workshop →

Can you do glass fusing at home?

Glass fusing at home requires a kiln, which costs £400–£2,000 depending on size. For most hobbyists this is prohibitive, which is why community studios and workshops are the main route to regular practice. Glass painting at home is much more accessible — specialist glass paints cost £5–£15 per colour, and a window pane or smooth glass surface is all you need.

Where can I find stained glass classes near me in the UK?

ClassBento lists glass fusing and glass painting workshops in London, Bristol, Edinburgh, and other UK cities. CraftCourses has a smaller but more independent selection, including some traditional stained glass cutting classes. Search by postcode on either platform to find options near you.
